About this ebook

The master of a Victorian mansion dies suddenly – and his sister is convinced it was murder....

When Cora is savagely murdered with a hatchet, the extraordinary remark she made the previous day at her brother Richard’s funeral suddenly takes on a chilling significance.

At the reading of Richard’s will, Cora was clearly heard to say: ‘It’s been hushed up very nicely, hasn’t it...But he was murdered, wasn’t he?’

In desperation, the family solicitor turns to Hercule Poirot to unravel the mystery.

Ratings and reviews

This Is One Of Agatha Christie's Best.... She Once Again Efficiently Used The Classic Technique Of Misdirection Well..... Story Is Pretty Much Interesting....As Well The Characters too...... The Revealation Was Really Exciting And Very Well Masterly Crafted One.....

It reveals great and precise observation power of Poirot. But the book is Costly on Play Store.

Keeps you guessing till the end. Highly recommended. HTC One M7, Kitkat 4.4.2 & Sense 6.0
